I don't think it's just you and me, but I'm with you 100%. The bots they traced were in the news not too long ago. How many multiple thousands did they kick off? 40-60k? And we know the sophisticated bot network that was in play during the elections. Rump gave the go-ahead to Putin in 2015 just as surely as he did the Proud Boys when he told them to "stand by"... both at his command.

I tend automatically away from authoritarians... but I don't think I've ever wanted to see someone taken down a peg or two as badly as I want to have it happen to trump. All the dirty tricks they've played on us; all the lies, the cheating, and then laughing in our faces at the miserable outcomes for us just hits a button in me that's flashing Red at all times, it seems. I bite my tongue when I have to; other times, I've not been so charitable... especially in open spaces like grocery stores (gryn).

BTW... you mention the ES&S and Dominion machines... I'd still like to have a complete investigation done on that server that was directly connected to Russia from trump's business in 2015... remember that one? The one that was on all the time? Sending "business info" back and forth. Yeah, right. I'm too cynical these days to believe anything vague like that.
